Lyrics

All shout when the music is loud

All people express enthusiasm when the music volume is high.

When the music is low they all wanna go

When the music volume decreases, everyone wants to leave or disengage.

All scream when the music is fast

Everyone shouts loudly when the music tempo is fast.

When the music is slow they really don't know

When the music slows down, people lose interest or understanding.

If my faces are pretty I've got an excuse

If my appearance is attractive, I have a reason or justification.

If I know what I want I've got something to loose

If I have a clear desire or goal, I risk losing something.

Well, the money's good

While the financial aspect is favorable,

But I'm not amused

I'm not entertained or satisfied.

UUHWEE, the world is growing old

Expression of exasperation, suggesting the world is aging or changing negatively.


All dance when I bang the right drum

Everyone engages in dance or celebration when I follow the correct path.

When I'm on the wrong track I erase what I had

When I make mistakes or deviate, I erase previous efforts.

>From time to time as I move along

Occasionally, while progressing, I reflect on past errors.

I take alook back to see what went wrong

I look back to analyze what went wrong in the past.

Well, the future is close and I'm rotten to the core

The future is approaching, and I feel morally corrupt or decayed.

It's gonna be too late when it knocks on my door

There might not be enough time to correct things when consequences arrive.

Well, but the money's good

Despite financial gain,

and I'm not amused

I remain uninterested or unsatisfied.

. UUHWEE, the world is growing old

Reiteration of frustration about the aging or deteriorating state of the world.


Feed me! Feed me! Feed me!

An urgent plea for sustenance or fulfillment.


All yawn when I am what I am

People become indifferent when I am true to myself.

When I am what they are it's kind of going too far

When I act similarly to others, it's seen as excessive or going too far.

When they open the doors I gotta hesitate

When opportunities arise, I hesitate to take action.

If they open their wallets I mustn't wait

If monetary benefits are offered, I shouldn't delay or hesitate.

I could afford a fast car and save my soul

I have the means to acquire material wealth and potentially salvage my integrity.

Or I could kill the leader and live like a mole

Alternatively, I could resort to extreme actions to live in seclusion.

But the money's good

Despite financial allure,

And I am not amused

I'm not entertained or satisfied.

Feed me! Feed me! Feed me!

Repetition of the plea for fulfillment or sustenance.
